About Boswa Survival

Boswa Survival was established by Herman Roos in 2007 as an internationally accredited training academy and we have trained more than 6200 students on our outdoor survival and adventure courses that range from complete beginner to professional career qualifications.

Boswa is short for “Bushcraft on Safari Wilderness Adventures” that was established in 2007 by Herman Roos.

We discovered that in Africa the name “Boswa” is more than 500 years old and taken from the Setswana language of the proud cultural people of Botswana, which is used as a term to encourage hope and to preserve traditional skills and cultural heritage !

Our survival courses will teach you the outdoor skills that you will need to be able to safely explore wild and remote natural environments and our adventure life skills camps will equip you with the necessary life skills to be able to enjoy a full and adventurous life through facing your challenges and growing as an individual in a very challenging world.

The focus of our courses and skills camps is to give young students the life skills to be able to face challenges, overcome them and to discover that they have what it takes to survive life !
